Israeli officials propose mass Palestinian relocation from_G

Overview

Israeli officials have detailed specific frameworks for the mass relocation of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has introduced a proposal titled ‘Disconnection 710’, which seeks to facilitate the ‘voluntary migration’ or ‘voluntary exodus’ of approximately 1.86 to 2 million Palestinians over a seven-year period.

Ben-Gvir’s blueprint outlines a phased departure, proposing a dedicated migration ministry with an estimated budget of 17 billion euros. Defense Minister Israel Katz has also advocated for de-populating Gaza, calling it the ‘only solution’ for the region. While some officials have suggested large-scale migration could be considered if Hamas fails to meet specific commitments, the official government stance has faced scrutiny.

In September 2026, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar clarified the government’s position during an event in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Saar stated that the Israeli government has ‘no plans to forcibly expel or deport Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.’ He emphasized that while the government will not oppose Palestinians who choose to emigrate voluntarily to other countries, it ‘will not enforce such movement against their will.’

Despite these clarifications, the initiative faces significant hurdles. Regional powers, including Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and Türkiye, have rejected such plans as violations of international law. Human rights advocates and international observers continue to warn that such policies could constitute forced displacement or ethnic cleansing, which are considered war crimes.
